No sorry I haven't heard anything... Don't quote me on this but I am pretty sure that Long Beach won't know anything till after the election because some of the things that are being voted on directly affect whether or not they will receive funding!

So glad I found this group! I sent in my application for CSULB yesterday, since they JUST found out they're having the ELM program...cutting it a little close there. Where else is everyone applying? What interested you about the program at Long Beach?

I didn't have enough pre-reqs to apply anywhere else, but LB is my top choice anyway. The way they only have classes for a few weeks is so appealing to me. For my undergrad (BS Cartography from Ohio University) we were on quarters, so classes were 10 weeks long. The 18 weeks at Crafton/Valley are KILLING me! I am going for a NP too, so it makes sense to go through an ELM program where I can actually do that.

Speaking of community college...are you guys in school full time for pre-reqs, or are you working and going to school part time? I'm working full time and have taken 1-2 classes/semester. It's kind of drawn out my pre-req time, and now I am a little worried about how much from these classes I'll need to know going into nursing school. My anatomy class was so painfully easy that I didn't have to study and got an A. This isn't what I've heard from some other people, but they also say that a lot of people will probably have forgotten stuff from pre-reqs.

I actually didn't apply to the ELM program at Long Beach because they don't have an accelerated BSN anymore. It used to be in 16 months but now it will take 2 years. So I just applied for the basic BSN and hopefully get the trimester option. Good luck to you guys though!
